Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond (2017)
Filmmaker Chris Smith digs deeply into the production of Jim Carrey’s unorthodox biopic Man on the Moon, which centered on the mysterious Andy Kaufman, in an engrossing Netflix documentary.

Some critics expressed doubts about Carrey’s professionalism due to his difficulty separating reality from the imaginary realm he had entered because of his immersed approach to method acting.
The ensuing documentary, Jim and Andy: The Great Beyond, provides an eye-opening glimpse at Carrey’s dramatic shift behind the scenes. It gives an unbiased depiction of Carrey’s devotion to his profession and gives viewers the opportunity to create their own conclusions about the unconventional strategy he used.
